I don't like the winners in 2011. They are nice pictures, but they tell little about the monuments. I want institutions to use the pictures and to give pictures to commons. If we have something unik that will be easier to do. I am in the moment talking to 2 parts about cooperation in GLAM-work and want usefull pictures not only the nice ones. As trained in building-protection I see a great opertunity to have pictures documenting monuments in many countries and want people to think about this in 2012.
